Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Leon woke up due to the sharp pain he was feeling in all his limbs. His mind was all foggy, but at least the world wasn't spinning anymore. He tried to move his body, but that only made him feel a bone-chilling pain all over his body.

"AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Screaming didn't help. Instead, it made him feel even more pain. However, weirdly, the pain made him feel relieved because the pain was proof that he was alive. Although he lost consciousness, he didn't forget what happened before that.

That weird voice inside his mind made Leon recall every single bit of the moments before he lost consciousness with precision. For a second, he tried to deny that nightmare had been real with all his heart, but the pain all over his body didn't let him. Something really messed up had happened, and a monster appeared, knocking down the plane with a single attack.

After recalling those memories, Leon's vision started to clear up, and he saw an area that was white and green around him. He heard the sound of the ocean coming behind him, and he also felt his wet clothes. Leon tried to move only his head, but he felt a sharp pain in his shoulders. He had dislocated both shoulders, and he could feel that even his collarbones were broken. He felt powerless, like a broken puppet.

"Shit... damn it... why did this happen?"

Leon couldn't move anything but his eyes without suffering a hellish pain. Fortunately, that had been enough to make him understand that the tide had brought him to an island. He was aware of the fact that the plane fell into the middle of the pacific ocean, so it was clear that it was an island. Regardless, soon the tide would bring him back to the sea if he stayed like that.

"Ah... maybe I can use that."

Leon recalled his last moments before losing consciousness, he increased his health with those status points, and that was why he managed to survive. Maybe if he raises his health again, the pain would decrease, and he would be able to move again.

Leon felt shivers looking at his health, it looked like he was really at death's door, and he barely survived the fall. Regardless, he had five free points to use and put them in health, making his max health increase, and his current health increased as well. The pain decreased, and Leon finally managed to move his body. The pain was still there, but it was bearable. However, he still couldn't move his arms and legs, and Leon didn't like that. He insisted, but again, there was no response coming from his limbs. However, the pain was still there, so that meant that he only had broken them.

Congratulations! The skill Pain Resistance has leveled up.

Leon obtained another status point, so he began to consider the things he could do to free himself from that predicament. The answer could only be found in one place: the status screen. The moment he thought that the semi-translucent blue-ish screen appeared. Leon was familiar with game mechanics such as regeneration, but he didn't find such options, but recovery looked pretty similar to that. The problem was how much one single point in recovery would help him. There was only one way to know, and so Leon put that meager point in recovery. Fortunately, the screen could read his mind, so he didn't have to click on anything. However, Leon didn't feel any difference.

"Ugh... I guess I will have to wait for a little while."

Leon could only hope that that small change would be noticeable sooner, it looked like certain actions could increase his free status, but there wasn't much Leon could do in that state.

"Let's see... is there a skill list?"

The moment Leon thought that another screen appeared. It looked quite small and straightforward, but he recalled that he received the notifications of 'learning' those skills.

Skill List

Active Skills:

Passive Skills: Fear Resistance Lv 6, Mental Fortitude Lv 1, Perception Lv 1, Pain Resistance Lv 7, Rage Lv1,

"I really don't want to move and feel pain again, and it is not like a can force myself to feel fear. How can I even level up something like Mental Fortitude? I guess there is nothing to be perceived around here... the only option is Rage."

As such, Leon tried to become angry, but he was more confused than anything. He tried and tried to get angry, but nothing happened. While Leon was thinking of what to do to obtain free status points, suddenly he felt the pain decreasing, and he also felt less tired. He still couldn't move his body, but he noticed that his health had recovered by two points. The recovery status was working. Ten minutes later, the same thing happened, and this time Leon felt like he could endure the pain.

Leon tried to move his arms, and he did it, only to see them bent to a weird angle. He didn't even have to see his legs to understand that they were in the same condition.

"This is bad... really bad..."

Somehow, his body was recovering from damage every ten minutes, but it didn't look like they were utterly repairing themselves. They were just healing, and at that pace, something terrible would happen if his body recovered while his limbs weren't in the right position.
